Assessing the damage 08 650. no valve shims still does not clear within spec

So while doing my valve clearance on a new to me bike, it seems as though the front cylinder was especially friction-y. I measured 0 clearance.

When I took of the chain tensioner, the chain remained super tight, which made me think that possibly the Valves are really jammed against the camshaft.

Took off the camshaft journal and had to criss cross the screws for much longer than the rear head, the camshaft was really pressed tight against the journal. Pulled the tappet to check the numbers on the shim, noticed they were actually super worn and had lots of wear marks. Sounds like loose valve symptoms right? Well....

For kicks I reinstalled the tappets without any shims. Timed the chain and camshaft, reinstalled chain tensioner.

Turn over the crankshaft twice and measure clearance...not within spec sadly. Couldn't fit 0.10mm.

New valve time, right? Anything else this could be?

Bike runs "great" but the front head is noisy. Sounds slappy and has a loud ring to it upon startup
